Good point. I’m glad Chris didn’t name it Elixir on Escalators.

I definitely think the answer is no. There have been clear decisions made in the Elixir ecosystem which explicitly go against Rails convention.
I definitely understand what you’re saying, though.
One thing I should mention is that I came to Elixir and Phoenix because of Ruby and Rails. I thought I was super happy in Ruby land, but then I took a peek over at what Elixir was doing.. and well, here I am. There’s a whole heap of things that I love because they’re so different.

Yeah, @josevalim and company have been really wise to just bring the best parts of ruby and others into Elixir/Phoenix/Ecto. For example I love the way Elixir’s has improved the quality of documentation by making it first-class. I really feel confortable with a nice language, great tooling and blooming great-quality libraries on a superb fault-tolerant platform as erlang. Really glad to be following the steps of these smart people.

Building an awesome community is not easy, and saying no to many feature requests that would just polute the language on the long time, and explaining nicely the reasons why is a such a cool thing about Elixir core team :). <3 Elixir for that.
So I’d say, Elixir people do have brains of their own, and Elixir, their frameworks and community is a relfection of that.
